Chapter 271 Tianxiong Army is surrounded, Tianwu Army arrives

In the area of ​​Dawang Town in the northeast of Anzhou, Baoding Prefecture, 30,000 Qing troops were besieging 5,000 Tianxiong troops. The battle lasted for a whole day, and the sound of fighting shook the heaven and the earth.

Tens of thousands of Qing cavalry surrounded Tianxiong's army for three times, and tens of thousands of Qing's infantry were densely packed around them, constantly attacking Tianxiong's defense line.

One mile away from the battlefield, a huge blue gold-woven dragon flag was erected. The dragon flag was surrounded by the Baja soldiers of the Eight Banners Manchurian soldiers with the blue flag. Prince Zheng Jierharang, the owner of the blue flag, was riding on

A tall maroon horse looks at the battlefield in the distance.

Jierhalang frowned and said: "After being besieged for two days, our Eight Banners Army with 30,000 troops attacked for a whole day, but they have not been eliminated yet. Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army is indeed a formidable enemy!"

The Beilebeizi of various banners around Jilharang also nodded and agreed. There were only 5,000 Tianxiong troops on this day. They had been besieged for a day and had already been exhausted. However, no one was timid, no one fled, and no one gave up.

Weapon surrender is indeed difficult to chew.

Gushan Beizizhuo said: "Uncle Wang, we have captured some artillery from the Ming army, let's just let the artillery send them on their way!"

Ji'erhalang nodded and said with emotion: "In the Battle of Hunhe in the sixth year of Tianming's reign, the Ming Dynasty's Baigan soldiers and Zhejiang soldiers were also very difficult to defeat. They lost more than 10,000 of our elite Eight Banners, and were eventually defeated by us.

The Eight Banners used artillery to disperse and defeat them. Now we can only deal with this Ming army in this way, and we must fight quickly!"

Several princes of the Eight Banners, Baylor, all lamented that the battle seventeen years ago was really embarrassing. Tens of thousands of Eight Banners troops surrounded 7,000 Ming troops, and more than 10,000 Eight Banners cavalry were defeated in the end.

Wan, many generals were captured alive by the Ming army, which greatly damaged the vitality of the Eight Banners Army. It still feels scary to think about it.

That battle can be said to be the first bloody battle in Liaozuo. After the war, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, the old Khan held a special meeting to commemorate the dead. Since then, no one has wanted to mention this battle...

After Jierhalang's order was issued, the attacking Qing army retreated like a tide, leaving a spacious battlefield for artillery attacks.

Lu Xiangsheng, wearing a helmet and holding a sword, looked at the Qing army that suddenly retreated, and said to himself: "Why did the Tatars suddenly retreat?"

Since the new Governor of Xuanda, Chen Xinjia, took office, he transferred the soldiers and horses of Xuanda under Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei. Lu Xiangsheng was left with only 5,000 Tianxiong troops. In anger, he led 5,000 Tianxiong troops to find the Qing army.

In the decisive battle, I didn't want to be besieged by the main force of 30,000 Qing troops in Anzhou.

There is no suspense in this battle, and defeat is certain. Faced with such a predicament, Lu Xiangsheng is already prepared to die in battle, and the five thousand Tianxiong Army is also united in bidding farewell to their relatives in the army.

"Brother, it's bad, the Tatars have brought in artillery!" Lu Xiangkun said in a panic, holding a telescope in his hand.

This telescope was given to the Tianxiong Army by Zhu Cihong when he joined forces with the Yongwei Battalion in the ninth year of Chongzhen to pursue the Tatars. Lu Xiangsheng kept it and had several copies made.

Lu Xiangsheng closed his eyes and let out a long sigh. The Qing army was several times larger than his own, and their combat power was also impressive. Now they also used artillery. The Tianxiong army was in danger!

The generals of the Tianxiong Army gathered around Lu Xiangsheng, with anxious expressions on their faces. They wanted to hear what countermeasures the governor had, and they were not afraid of death. What they were most worried about was being killed by useless artillery!

Lu Xiangsheng slowly opened his eyes, bowed to all the soldiers several times, and said: "You are all strong soldiers who followed Lu all the way and dared to kill slaves. However, today we are trapped here and are unable to break out. Lu

I am willing that all brothers will fight together and die on the battlefield to serve the country with their lives!"

The remaining three thousand Tianxiong troops shouted in unison: "We are willing to follow the governor and die to serve the country!"

Lu Xiangsheng said: "The slave thieves are preparing to use artillery. We can't just sit back and wait for death. We can only take the initiative to attack and fight to the death. Even if we die, we will have to pull a few slave thieves to support us!"

As he spoke, Lu Xiangsheng raised the sword in his hand and shouted: "Kill the slave!"

Hearing Lu Xiangsheng's roar, the Tianxiong army followed suit and shouted: "Kill the slaves!"

"Kill the slaves!"

"Kill the slaves!!"

The roar resounded throughout the land, and the sound was like a rushing tide, rushing in all directions, with each wave getting higher than the next.

The soldiers and horses of the Qing army a mile away were frightened when they saw the Ming army's overwhelming momentum. Is this Ming army going to make a desperate counterattack?

Jierhalang, the leader of the Xianglan Banner, was shocked and angry when he saw the Tianxiong Army taking the initiative to attack. He shouted angrily: "Surround them and crush them!"

The whine of the horn sounded again, the Qing army's infantry and cavalry were approaching densely, and the black flags were rolling in the wind. The Qing army gave up artillery support and directly surrounded the Tianxiong army again.

A large black mass of the Qing army came in, and an overwhelming harsh voice sounded: "Kill Lu Xiangsheng, destroy the Tianxiong army!"

Seeing a large group of Qing troops approaching, Lu Xiangsheng waved his sword and rushed out first. He shouted heartbreakingly: "Kill the slaves!"

Behind him, three thousand Tianxiong troops followed closely. Their eyes were firm and showed no fear. Everyone was also shouting wildly to kill the slaves. The overwhelming shouts broke through the noisy shouts of the Qing army like sharp swords.

Lu Xiangsheng fought in person with a broadsword, splitting two Qing shield soldiers in succession, and hacked to death three Qing soldiers with a swing.

"kill!"

The three thousand Tianxiong troops were already furious, and the Qing army was beaten back wave after wave.

The battlefield was already filled with dense layers of corpses. Corpses were scattered all over the field, and blood flowed into rivers. I don’t know how many belonged to the Qing army, and I don’t know how many belonged to the Tianxiong army.

Lu Xiangsheng killed more than 40 enemies by himself, but he was also hit by four arrows and suffered three knife wounds. However, he continued to command the Tianwu Army to kill the enemies bravely.

Suddenly, the sound of hoofbeats was like thunder, the earth shook, wave-like flags were raised around the battlefield, and countless Ming army cavalry rushed towards them, the black mass was endless.

In the Qing army's formation, Jierhalang's face changed drastically: "Where did the Ming army come from!"

I saw thousands of cavalry in the vast Ming army formation, like sharp swords, breaking a wide gap into the Qing army on the right, causing a huge commotion among the Qing troops on the right.

Lu Xiangkun said excitedly: "Brother, look, it's the dragon flag! The prince's men are coming!"

The panting soldiers of the Tianxiong Army burst into cheers with all their strength: "Wan Sheng!"

Cao Bianjiao charged on horseback with a gun, his fiery red cloak flying high in the north wind. Behind him were six thousand Tianwu Army cavalry charging forward. They were invincible along the way, constantly attacking the Qing army's formation on the right, harvesting the Qing army's losses.

life.

The Qing troops on the right wing were rushed to pieces by the Tianwu Army's cavalry. They didn't know what was going on, and everyone ran for their lives in panic.

War drums were beating in the distance, and tens of thousands of Tianwu troops appeared in the sky, forming formations. Countless dragon flags were flapping in the wind, and it seemed like a dark cloud gradually enveloped the entire sky.

The generals of the Eight Banners all changed their minds. I don’t know why the Ming army came so suddenly, but their scouting horses didn’t give any warning...

Seeing the Ming army's reinforcements with such a huge momentum, Jierhalang's face twitched and said quickly: "Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

After hearing Ming Jin's call to withdraw his troops, all the troops in the Qing army felt relieved and ran away.

The Tianxiong army cheered and everyone was excited. The entire army was ready to die to serve the country, but unexpectedly reinforcements arrived. This feeling of surviving a disaster is beyond words.
